Follow Up Information: Arboretum Place Public Realm and Streetscape Proposals

I wanted to follow up with some additional information after our community pop up event on the 7th March.

I’d like to pass on our thanks to the Royal Botanic Garden Edinburgh again for hosting us.  It was a beautiful sunny day and it was a great spot to have our information stand.   

We spoke with many members of the local community and some passing visitors.  Thank you if you managed to make it along, it was really lovely to meet some members of the Community Council and the Friends of Inverleith Park in person as well as welcome partners from The City of Edinburgh Council.  We received some valuable feedback and comments.

Keep updated

I’d like to highlight the Climate Ready Craigleith StoryMap for information on the current projects.   This includes some of the images of the proposals on Arboretum Place we shared on Saturday in case you were unable to attend.

Drylaw and Telford Masterplan: Invitation to consultation and community event

We’ve been developing a Masterplan featuring 13 proposed improvement projects that aim to reimagine local streets and public spaces, making them healthier, more accessible, and nature-positive – while also tackling surface water and flooding challenges in the area.

We’re now at an exciting stage where we’d love to hear directly from the community. Your insights are essential in helping us understand which of these projects would bring the most value to local residents and in uncovering any additional opportunities we may have overlooked.

The Drylaw and Telford Masterplan is a key component of the Climate Ready Craigleith initiative, which itself forms part of the city’s broader Climate Ready Edinburgh strategy.

Join Us at the Drylaw Parish Church Summer Fair!

We are grateful to be a part of the Drylaw Parish Church Summer Fair on Saturday 7th June from 11am – 2pm. 

Come along to enjoy the wider event and to view exhibition boards showcasing the masterplan and share your thoughts on the proposed improvement projects for the area. Your feedback is important and will help shape the future of Drylaw and Telford.

📍 Location: Drylaw Parish Church
📅 Date: Saturday, 7th June 2025
